VLC controls won't appear in my Touch Bar (Catalina)

Hi.

The Touch Bar on my new MacBook Pro (2019 – Mac OS 10.15) won't work with VLC Media Player. When I'm using the app, if I press Play on the Touch Bar it opens Music.

Someone gave a solution to this problem here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250842589?answerId=251601247022#251601247022, unfortunately that solution didn't do it for me. I still have the same issue.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance,
